Meopta's budget enlarging lens — the Belar 50mm at the most basic specification.
The Meopta Belar 50mm f/4.5 is the budget enlarging lens from Czech Meopta — below the Anaret S in their hierarchy. At 50mm f/4.5 for 35mm negatives. The Belar is Meopta's most basic enlarging option. The slow f/4.5 and budget positioning provide minimum quality at minimum cost within the Meopta enlarging range.
Basic Meopta quality — the Belar is their entry tier below the Anaret S. The f/4.5 is slow for darkroom focusing. Adequate for casual printing only. The Anaret S MC f/2.8 (ID 4834) is dramatically better within Meopta's own range. Not recommended when the Anaret S costs the same on the used market.
No camera mount — enlarger thread. Weight minimal. Build quality basic Czech Meopta. The Belar is the most basic Meopta enlarging tier. Not recommended when better Meopta and other manufacturer alternatives cost the same. The f/4.5 makes darkroom focusing difficult in dim conditions.
No practical value when the Anaret S MC (ID 4834) costs the same. Basic Meopta quality. Not a camera lens. Not recommended. The slow f/4.5 and budget positioning make this the least desirable Meopta enlarging option when better alternatives are equally free.
